=====================
We begin our visit to Ancient Egypt and life 5000 years ago by exploring houses and homes, and contrasting them with our homes today. The dependence of Ancient Egypt on the River Nile is explored, as are some of the inventions Egypt is famous for. What happens to pharaohs when they die is investigated, and the role of high priests is explained.

This clip is from the BBC series Lost Lands; a series of short animations that take the viewer back in time to explore seven different ancient civilisations related to the Key Stage 2 history curriculum. Each episode is narrated from the point of view of a young child or teenager living in that era. The animations also feature archaeological remains and archives that reveal where historians find evidence for these ancient ways of life.

Teaching History?

Pupils could use this clip to compare life in Egypt then and now. They could study the differences and similarities with their own lives and why living near a river was so important to communities. They could look at how buildings have changed and discuss why pyramids might have been chosen as a design structure. They could look at the life and death of pharaohs, discussing why gods are so important, and how religion and the way people worship has changed. They could look at what the Egyptians invented and how it stills affects their lives today.

This clip is relevant for teaching History at Key Stage 2 in England, Northern Ireland and Wales and at Second Level in Scotland.
